School teachers that can't spell

Seriously teachers who cant spell seriously need to look over their education and improve Or Look up words in dictionary's

The English language is exceptionally beautiful and complex ... but only when it is correctly spelt and parsed.

If a teacher cannot spell and write correctly, then he/she should be sent back to college ... end of story.

Oi, don't knock the Beano, its great! I pinch my daughters every week when it comes out. Some things ya just never grow out of.

"That bloke Mike P makes me vomit he has the nothing of value ever to say. Total wally.
Mike ps son. 26-Apr-2008 00:56"

You are just uneducated and ignorant and seem to have a problem with people on a higher intellectual level than yourself. There is no need to be condemnatory towards those whom you fail to understand.

I believe that the Beano comic is still on sale, or if you've progressed beyond just looking at the pictures, the Sun actually has words in it.

"(Please note CORRECT use of myself - a word incorrectly used a great deal these days)"

As in :
Q: "May I please to talk to someone about xxxxxxx?"
A: " Yeah, my name's Try-sea, you can talk to myself"

This just makes me want vomit.

As someone who had a grammar school education I find myself cringing most of the time at the poor spelling & grammar used by so many people nowadays.
(Please note CORRECT use of myself - a word incorrectly used a great deal these days).
It's not just teachers; the police seem to learn a special language using phrases like "engaging in pursuit of a vehicle". They spout these phrases parrot fashion while being unable to put them into a coherent grammatical sentence. It seems to be a variation of "management speak".
Quite often when out shopping I see printed signs in large stores with spelling mistakes or misplaced apostrophes; obviously several people missed these mistakes for the sign to have been printed. (Mind you, printers usually can't spell anyway.)
However some of the worst are people who post comments on sites like this one! I find many of the gripes very interesting but some of the replies are so badly written that I give up after about two lines!

Re: Guy Forks (sic).

My sympathies! 18 years ago I had to pick my younger brother up from school one day. His class had done a project on creatures that live under the sea. One child had painted an octopus, and their teacher had written a caption to go with it: "An octopus has 8 tenticles".

No Miss; that would be 'tentacles', with an 'a'. Perhaps you were thinking of 'testicles'?

A Sad Slapper writes: "I think a creative flow is much more important than spelling. Who cares about spelling when you could write something beautiful, - some other loser can correct it afterwards."

I think the arrogance shown by this statement is disgraceful. It sounds like you want to divide the world into artists/poets and technicians/losers. That way, the artists could just get on with writing beautiful thoughts, badly, without concerning themselves with the rules of how to do it properly. Then you could get a technician to come along and tidy up your writing for you later, like paying someone else to sweep your drive and do your ironing for you. Do you not think that the technicians might have beautiful words of their own to write, and might not have the time to correct the silly spelling and grammar mistakes of the artists? The artists would still need the technicians to make their work look competent, but why would the technicians even need the artists then, when they could just be artists for themselves instead?

My daughter came home with a typed sheet.On it was a section about Guy Forks correct spelling Fawkes and this is on a year 7 paper .The same day she showed me a maths test she had just taken scoring 25 out of 65 many of the questions had 0 next to them even though they are correct ,when she pointed this out the teacher said he would correct his mistakes later but this has not happened.

My daughter is still very young and has a day journal that teachers or assistants write in (things like what they are learning or did that day). I find it very upsetting at times that these are my child's educational influences, especially when there are entries like the following:
'She did good to-day in the paint area. There recess was cancelled because of rain so they played with the block's inside. Please send you're notice for winter trip in to-morrow.'

I'm not making that up and frankly I wish I were. My husband and I make sure we supplement her education at home and keep her well above the standard. It is sad, however, as you should be able to have some faith in a school.

What about bad grammar? The headline to this piece should be: "School teachers who can't spell". "School teachers that can't spell" is incorrect. I have a degree in English and I am English. Not an expert but better educated than most.

I am a primary school teacher and I consider myself a good speller, I double check spellings and I speak for the majority of us in that many of us work extremely hard.
I would also like to add that we are all human and make mistakes from time to time, even the leaders of the country make mistakes, I wonder if you ever have??
This teacher should have double checked I agree but I will not have you slate the whole profession.
